- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 RPM without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0135 indicated?
YES -Go to step 5.
NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay, and the ECM/PCM.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Check the No. B26 A/F SENSOR (10A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
Is the fuse OK?
YES -Go to step 7.
NO -Go to step 20.
- Open the fuse lid panel (A), then remove the A/F sensor relay (B) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Test the A/F sensor relay (see
POWER RELAY TEST
).
Is the A/F sensor relay OK?
YES -Go to step 9.
NO -Replace the A/F sensor relay, then go to step 24.
- Disconnect the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector.
- At the sensor side, measure the resistance between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminals No. 3 and No. 4.

Is there 1.9-2.7 Ω at room temperature (65-70°F, 18-21°C)?
YES -Go to step 11.
NO -Go to step 23.
- At the sensor side, check for continuity between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3, and between terminals No. 1 and No. 4 individually.Fig 3: Checking Continuity Between A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) 4P Connector Terminals No. 1 And No. 3, And Between Terminals No. 1 And No. 4

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 23.
NO -Go to step 12.
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Disconnect ECM/PCM connector C (44P).
- Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal C9 and A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 4.Fig 4: Checking Continuity Between ECM/PCM Connector Terminal C9 And A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) 4P Connector Terminal No. 4

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 15.
NO -Repair an open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (C9) and the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), then go to step 24.
- Connect A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 3 to body ground with a jumper wire.
- Check for continuity between A/F sensor relay 4P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 17.
NO -Repair an open in the wire between the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) and the A/F sensor relay, then go to step 24.
- Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (44P).
- Connect ECM/PCM connector terminal A21 to body ground with a jumper wire.
- Check for continuity between A/F sensor relay 4P connector terminal No. 4 and body ground.

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 30.
NO -Repair an open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A21) and the A/F sensor relay, then go to step 24.
- Open the fuse access panel (A), then remove the A/F sensor relay (B) from the under-dash fuse/relay box.
- Disconnect the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector and the EVAP canister vent shut valve 2P connector.
- Check for continuity between A/F sensor (Sensor 1) 4P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.Fig 10: Checking Continuity Between A/F Sensor (Sensor 1) 4P Connector Terminal No. 3 And Body Ground

Is there continuity?
YES -Repair a short in the wire between the A/F sensor relay, the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), and the EVAP canister vent shut valve. Also replace the No. B26 A/F SENSOR (10 A) fuse, then go to step 24.
NO -Replace the under-dash fuse/relay box, then go to step 24.
- Replace the A/F sensor (Sensor 1) (see A/F SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
- Reconnect ail connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0135 indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay, and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1.
NO -Go to step 29.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0135 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step 28, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .
NO -If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay, and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 27.
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see ECM/PCM UPDATE ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).
- Start the engine.
- Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0135 indicated?
YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the A/F sensor relay, and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step 32. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
NO -Go to step 34.
- Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0135 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step 33, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .
NO -If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the A/F sensor (Sensor 1), the PGM-FI subrelay, and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step 32. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes on.
